I was assaulted again today. It’s been well over a hundred times I think the past few years.

    My friend. You as an individual cannot be targeted with genocide. Genocide is the erasure of a whole cultural identity.

    That’s another linguistic oddity you’re using that I think is upsetting people to be hostile against you.

    It sounds like you’re being harassed and that’s terrible that you’re experiencing that kind of violence.

    Is this danger around speaking, is it something that’s happening to you in real life or just online? It sounds like something bad is happening to you in real life, but I think these issues your having for which you’re asking for permission to speak is caused by your linguistic oddities.

      Genocide affects groups & individuals, and doesn’t require a total erasure. Bahanna culture is tattered & stained with past & ongoing genocides, as well as mass-destruction of animals. Regarding ‘the five precepts’ in Buddhism, Bahanna culture seems addicted to killing, stealing, sexual-misconduct, dishonesty, & alcohol. I regard the word ‘Bahanna’ (etymology: borrowed from Hopi) qua essential gift. There’s odd, & there’s evil/unskillful.
